Mobility

Raval

2013

The Raval bicycle stand is born in response to the new criteria for urban mobility established in major cities.

Its design allows for the secure fixation of two bicycles at three points. The triangular section of the element optimizes its strength against impact and bending forces,
with an internal stainless-steel frame.

The bike stand reinvents a well-established piece with UHPC technology as its foundation. The properties of Ultra-High Performance Concrete enable
minimal thickness, outstanding structural strength, and enhanced resistance to erosion and weathering.

Raval is an Arabic word that means neighbourhood or suburb, with its Catalan and Spanish equivalents being “raval” and “arrabal”, respectively. The choice of name is a reference to the popular neighbourhood with the same name in the city of Barcelona, and it is found in the nomenclature of practically every Spanish and Mediterranean city.

A single block of UHPC-Slimconcrete reinforced with stainless steel. The anchoring system is resolved by a double grooved cylinder with a depth of 20 cm fixed to the paving with resin mortar, in which the holes were previously drilled using a bit with a pendulum assembly and diameter of 220 mm.
